CHICAGO, ILL, February 3.-The
wheat market was excited today, and
the transactions were large. The Ca
bles were firm, and quoted American
wheat as firmly held. The potent H.
fluencs on the course OF prices, how
ever, was the heavy decline in foreign
secur ties. The opinion generally
held was that this fsreshadowed pos
sible war, and buying was active upon
this theory. As prices advanced
"shorts" covered freely and aided the
upward movement. May wheat opened
Rc higher, at SAFE, ross quickly to 85C,
with very free offerings aud purchases
at the top figures. Later kilograms in
Dictated that the decline In French
rentes and British consols was due, in
great part, to financial difficulties, and
that French and German hreadstuffs
were lower. Under this influence the
market gradually fell back to 84bc,and
closed for the day at safe, or only
shade higher than yesterday. The re-
csipts at eleven points were 268, 900
bushels, while the export clearings
were only 43, 900 bushels. Corn wss
active and firmer, with fair outside
inquiry and rather sharp demand
from "shorts." The receipts continue
to be small. The market opened 3c
higher, advanced s@lc additional, fell
back s@4c, and closed firm. Oats
ruled steady and shade higher,
closing steady at yesterdays figures.
